• Contribute hands‑on to code, automation and incident resolution.
• Improve network reliability, observability and operational processes.
• Collaborate with network, software, SRE, security and platform teams.
• Coordinate with international engineering teams.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in software, infrastructure, SRE or network engineering.
• Strong understanding of Linux, networking, automation and CI/CD.
• Programming experience in Go (Golang) or Python.
• Experience building and operating production systems at scale.
• Proven ability to lead complex, cross‑functional technical initiatives.
